## Overview

Mazecare's Admissions & Capacity Management system provides real-time visibility and control over admissions, transfers, discharges, patient flow, and resource allocation. It works for clinic recovery rooms, day surgery beds, and full hospital inpatient wards.

## Benefits

### For Clinics

Optimize recovery rooms and procedure spaces for day surgeries and treatments. Recovery resource tracking monitors real-time status of recovery chairs, day beds, and procedure rooms. Fast-track discharge workflows automate checkout for same-day patients.

### For Hospitals

Complete inpatient command center with live bed census showing occupied, available, cleaning, and reserved beds across all departments and ward types. Coordinated discharge planning pre-alerts billing and pharmacy to accelerate bed turnover.

## How It Works

1. **Admission or Booking Request** -- Provider requests admission. System checks real-time availability across relevant spaces.
2. **Smart Resource Assignment** -- Staff sees live resource map and assigns available bed, chair, or room with auto-populated rates.
3. **Patient Check-In & Tracking** -- Patient arrives and status updates automatically for all teams.
4. **Transfers & Movement** -- System updates occupancy automatically and tracks complete movement history.
5. **Proactive Release Planning** -- System alerts billing and pharmacy when discharge is planned.
6. **Instant Turnover Alert** -- Resource marked for cleaning on departure. Housekeeping notified automatically.
